Witch hunt, that is. It seems every man who ever impermissibly grabbed a woman's behind is now accussed of sexual harrassment.
Another big fuss that will finally fizzle out, as always.

The "Weinstein" story was all ready to go in 2004 -- but that was still the "Clinton era", which officially ended with Billary's election defeat in 2016.
How ironic that all these left-leaning Hollywood, etc., women have the election of Trump to thank for this new "cultural shift".
Say, why haven't Bill and Hillary Clinton given back all those million$ that H. Weinstein donated to their campaigns? It's all "blood money", isn't it?
Sorry to inject politics, but this thread wouldn't exist without it.

Wow... You are aware that "impermissibly grabbed" is pretty much the definition of sexual harassment, right?

You are aware that the definition of sexual harassment has been expanded to include nearly every human behavior, to include staring, right?

I swore I wasn’t going to go here, but YES! When I was in my 20s, I worked for a manager who could not tell you the eye colour of any woman on the floor. It didn’t matter - young, old, attractive or not - he stared at our chests for the full duration of every conversation EVERY TIME. I was trying to build a career. Everyone knew. Everyone talked about it, including the other managers. HR knew. Nobody did a thing. I worked with that for 2 years, finally resorting to holding file folders across my chest during team meetings. One ballsy woman finally had enough and stared at his crotch when he called her to his desk - he got so nervous he couldn’t hold a pen. I called him the Yellow Bellied Tit Glancer. Do you want your daughters to have to accept this every workday in order to keep a damn job? #MeToo

Surprised I'm not on the list, I once kissed my beloved Rottweiler on the forehead whilst we were out walking and playing in the park ........ does that count ? Not only that, I rubbed her stomach as well !
Guilty as charged, cos' she was GORGEOUS ! If ever there was a female stomach that was totally irresistible .... hers was it !

The reasonable response was talking to HIM and asking him to stop (he didn’t), talking to other managers, talking to HR, then ultimately coming up with a survival tactic to get through it. It wasn’t a secret. It was accepted and permitted. Give the men a fair hearing - but give the women one too, it’s about bloody time. #MeToo
Who was re-elected President in 2004? Which party gained seats in the 2002 midterm? You must be suffering from dementia if you think 2004 was the "Clinton" era.Quote

It's the same here in Sweden. A new celebrity or politician falling every day. Some of them has to flee the country.
I guess there will be a backlash to this reversed witch-hunt in due time. But for now the hunt is on...
